You will have the chance to see the eruptions of steam from small, abundant craters up close. In atacameño, the language of the locals, “El Tatio” means “The grandfather who cries”, without a doubt, a premonition of the feelings and emotion that this place causes.

Stop At: Machuca, Route B-245, San Pedro de Atacama Chile

After our experience in the magnificent geysir field, you will go to the village of Machuca, whose appearance will take you on a journey back through time. There are still twenty houses from the old Atacameño indigenous village, and above them all, a small white church with blue doors rises, a charming contrast of precolonial and later influences. After a walk through the town we will return to the city center of San Pedro de Atacama, where we will safely arrive around noon.
